Chemical weapons watchdog: inspectors have samples from Douma

A team of inspectors from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) visited a site in Douma, Syria on Saturday to collect samples as it tries to determine whether such weapons were used there on April 7, the agency said. In a statement, the OPCW said it would now evaluate and consider whether the team needs to make a second visit to Douma. The OPCW has been investigating use of toxic chemicals in Syria's civil war since 2014.
